I have had a brief look at the massive improvements since my last edit and few thoughts occur. The article is looking brilliant- the images less so- the image of two vessels in the swin is generic- I can't see why it shouldn't be a image of the Centaur. The Centaur existed with bowsprit and without it will be harder to find one of her with a bowsprit and I have failed to take a shot of her actually sailing but I think it should be considered. The quality of the shot of the Edith May is an embarrassment. It was only used to illustrate the point that these barges (normally? cn)sailed in port without the mainsail. The reference to the East Swin is hanging- and needs to be incorporated in the text. In the diagram, the jib and the staysail are possibly wrongly coloured- these sails were stowed below decks so didn't need the UV protection of ochre.

I still have a nagging doubt that there may have been 2 ships Centaur 1895 and Centaur 1899. March p 170 says that the LRTC Centaur (Rochester barge) was lost in 1930 after colliding with Aspbodel- there was an enquiry- so this could be checked. (this was the barge that was also hit by the CMB). The Medway barge race of 6th June 1899 is described in March p152 "it was a glorious day with light easterly winds, when Centaur only completed the day before, led the fleet over the line." then "with Centaur leading Giralda by 2 1/2 minutes a slendid performance on the part of an untried barge". Any thoughts. ClemRutter ( talk) 09:22, 10 September 2018 (UTC)
